Ganguly made 7,212 runs in 113 Test matches at an average of 42.17.
Ganguly took over the captaincy reigns from Mohammad Azharuddin in early 2000. At that time Indian cricket was under turmoil with match-fixing allegations labelled against some of the players and falling fortunes for the team.
Ganguly immediately brought in some fresh faces and quickly changed the way the team thought and played. In came the youthful exuberance and aggressiveness of the likes of Yuvraj Singh, Zaheer Khan, Virender Sehwag and Harbhajan Singh, to mix with the experience of Sachin Tendulkar and Rahul Dravid.
So, there is no doubt that Saurav Ganguli is flooded with wishes.
And More wishes are yet to come and we wish him more success and healthier life ahead.
